      C Only conclusions II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      All grapes are fruits (A) + Some fruits are pears (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. All grapes are fruits (A) → Conversion → Some fruits are grapes (I). Hence conclusion II follows. All grapes are fruits (A) + Some fruits are pears (I) → Probable conclusion → Some grapes may be pears (I). Hence conclusion III follows.
